Chapter 163: Full of flaws
Concubine Lan raised her hand and rubbed her head, frowning her eyebrows with a painful expression, if it weren't for King Zhao knowing that Concubine Lan had never had a headache, he would have almost believed Concubine Lan's words because he cared about it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Maybe Concubine Lan was also anxious, so she came up with such a thoughtless reason, but it can be seen that the truth of Zi Mo Ruomu is the same, so King Zhao can easily see that Concubine Lan is pretending to be sick.
Concubine Lan's obvious send-off rhetoric did not drive King Zhao away.
King Zhao was silent at first, and then got up to help Concubine Lan rub her temples, King Zhao pressed patiently for a long time, but Concubine Lan's heart was up and down, and she couldn't force King Zhao to leave, which was really unreasonable.
"Mother, are you better?"
Concubine Lan lowered her eyelids, and replied in a very helpless tone:
"Well, it's much betterβ"
Concubine Lan's answer made King Zhao, who was standing behind him, even more unwilling to stop there, and the more Concubine Lan wanted to avoid it, the more curious and confused King Zhao became-
After all, Qi Sheng on the list of joining the army - he replaced an ordinary person, so this Qi Sheng sneaked into the military camp really has his purpose - otherwise, how could the ordinary people afford to spend money to invite Qi Sheng, who is strong in martial arts, to join the army instead of their son.
Household registration aside, Qi Sheng's ability to disappear is not to be underestimated-with the terrifying scar on his face, it is not difficult to find him, but Qi Sheng seems to have never been to the omen of the sun, so that the people sent by King Zhao are helpless.
Therefore, King Zhao guessed that Qi Sheng's original face was either not his true face, or he had changed into a false mask; Or maybe Qi Sheng has a very considerable snobbery behind him to help him.
But with Qi Sheng's ability - why did he endure humiliation and follow the brave army for a long time, it really made King Zhao puzzled, after all, when Qi Sheng was in the army, he was decent, and the biggest thing he caused - or because Li Luo was humiliated, he drew his sword to help Li Luo out of his bad breath, and this matter had nothing to do with himself.
Therefore, the time when Qi Sheng slipped out of the Chengqian Palace on the night of the palace banquet was the most suspicious place for Qi Sheng, and it can be regarded as the biggest purpose of Qi Sheng's name change and surname to Lairizhao.
If there is really a frightening and fearsome force behind Qi Sheng, King Zhao can't take it lightly, just from the fact that Qi Sheng has seen Concubine Lan, who knows if Qi Sheng will pose any threat to Rizhao, and no one can say for sure that something must be prevented.
If Qi Sheng entered the palace to meet someone else, it would be better to say something, King Zhao would not have to be so careful, but the person Qi Sheng had seen was Concubine Lan, which made King Zhao in a dilemma.
Concubine Lan stretched out her hand and pulled down the palm that King Zhao massaged for her, signaling that King Zhao didn't need to knead it anymore, and King Zhao returned to his seat, bringing up the old matter again-
"Mother, the only minister mentioned that he once brought a recruit from the brave army to the banquet."
Concubine Lan bowed slightly, and the laziness in her eyes didn't seem to be willing to talk to King Zhao about that irrelevant person. However, King Zhao saw that Concubine Lan was deliberately showing indifference, but in fact, only Concubine Lan herself knew.
Seeing that Concubine Lan did not find an excuse to interrupt King Zhao's questioning this time, King Zhao continued lightly:
"The man is missing......"
Concubine Lan's heart sank suddenly when she heard King Zhao's words, and there was more worry in her eyes than she ignored it.
Concubine Lan didn't have a stubble, so King Zhao continued:
"This person has extremely high martial arts, he has fought side by side with Erchen, he is really a rare talent, Erchen originally planned to promote him to his side, but unfortunately he didn't even say hello, and disappeared without a trace."
Hearing this, Concubine Lan asked in a light tone:
"Really?"
The moment King Zhao saw Concubine Lan's snickering joy hidden in his eyes, he suddenly didn't want to listen any further, and for some reason, it was the ghost who made the god to reject Concubine Lan to show such a concerned look to other men.
King Zhao didn't want to speculate, nor did he want to speculate in a bad direction, and when he was about to stop asking, Concubine Lan, who had been avoiding this matter, took over and said to him:
"Wang'er's ability is not small, if that person can win Wang'er's favor, he must be a famous material!"
The eagerness and expectation on Concubine Lan's face made King Zhao feel dull - Concubine Lan had only Muyangjun and King Zhao in her eyes, and no matter how good other men were, they couldn't get into Concubine Lan's eyes. But after only one night's work, Concubine Lan actually talked about the goodness of others in front of King Zhao, King Zhao was a little unacceptable, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of mood his father would have if he knew Concubine Lan's love for others.
Out of disappointment and anger towards Concubine Lan, King Zhao dispelled his previous thoughts, he looked back at Concubine Lan coldly, and mentioned quietly:
"The concubine seems to have seen this person?"
Concubine Lan subconsciously nodded, but fortunately, she reviewed King Zhao's words again, otherwise she would have revealed her flaws.
"The main palace is in the harem, where can there be a lot of knowledge. It's just that I listened to Wang Er's different eyes on that person, and selfishly thought that if he could keep it for his own use, he would become Wang Er's right-hand man one day, so he said a few more words. β
King Zhao knew that Concubine Lan was lying, but he couldn't look at his mother's bright eyes and say it directly.
After hesitating for a long time, after King Zhao weighed the pros and cons, he finally did not choose to ignore it, if he connived at Concubine Lan's momentary foolishness, it would cause a big disaster in the future, it would hurt her. Therefore, King Zhao decided that even if he became angry with Concubine Lan today, he would persuade Concubine Lan to rein in the precipice, he didn't want to see his mother who favored the sixth palace and he would end up miserable like an abandoned woman.
This kind of torture is very different, not to mention Concubine Lan, even King Zhao can't bear it.
"Xu is mother forgot about it, and the sons gave the mother a reminder - that day at the palace banquet, I heard that Qi Sheng came to the mother's Yilian Xuan by mistake - and some palace people saw Qi Sheng enter for a long time, and the mother should have seen him."
Concubine Lan suddenly raised her eyes to meet King Zhao, and saw that King Zhao's pretended indifferent face was a little sad, and Concubine Lan was also worried, but she couldn't tell the truth, she had to pretend to be stupid-
"Oh! When Wang Er mentioned this, the palace remembered that - there was indeed a person who claimed to be a subordinate of Wang Er who came here to fetch some things that day - and the palace told Hui'er to give it to him, and he left. β
King Zhao had already asked about the details, and Concubine Lan couldn't hide it completely, so she had to tell her half-truths.
At the moment, Concubine Lan only hoped that King Zhao would not have more eyes to investigate whether Qi Sheng was holding a cloak and pills in his hands when he left.
"But Erchen didn't send him here to get anything, if there is an urgent need, Erchen can take it himself! By the way, the mother concubine - Qi Sheng asked Hui'er what she wanted? β
Concubine Lan turned her head to avoid looking at King Zhao, she glanced at Hui'er, who was buried in picking up the gold silk carpet, and then said:
"It's just some hangover medicine, and it's not a rare thing......
Concubine Lan thought that King Zhao should not know what excuse Qi Sheng used to enter Yilian Xuan, in order to better cover Qi Sheng, she only said pills, not cloaks.
But when Hui'er heard this, her hands trembled, and she threw the dustpan to the ground again - it can be seen that Hui'er is not good at lying, nor is she good at cooperating with others to deceive people, and she must remember the objects that Qi Sheng asked for that day clearly.
